Chapter 174: Return or loss

Soon, the second production began, Xia Duo did not deliberately make the parchment graphics inaccurate, but chose to improve the accuracy of personal spell casting.
Casting skills and proficiency are Xia Duo's shortcomings. After all, he has been a mage for too short a time, but the accuracy of casting cannot be relaxed.
To describe it in terms of the game, accurate casting means that the gap between the upper and lower limits of the spell becomes smaller, which means that the effect of the spell is always in your own hands.
It would be too dangerous if a mage couldn't control the effects of his spells. Think about a teleportation technique that is calculated accurately, but it spreads into the crevices of the stone due to casting errors. Wouldn't it be very wrong.
...
After paying attention to the accuracy of the spell, Xia Duo didn't have much error in her first spell, but it failed in the end. The reason is that there are too many steps in the process of linking the magic net for the scrolls. The more steps, the easier it is to make mistakes, and as long as they make mistakes, they will have to start again.
After several times, Xia Duo ran out of the red graphite water that he had previously purchased on the scrolls. Fortunately, he purchased a "gray ink" similar to the red graphite water at the Material Claim Office of the Master Tower in advance.
Enough for him to splurge.
This kind of ink is not suitable for ordinary writing, because it is really off-white, and the price of a bottle of 20 gold coins is not beautiful.
There are a lot of inks that are suitable for 1-ring magic scrolls, the prices are about the same, and the effect is not much different. Xia Duo, who changed the ink, only tried a few times and succeeded. A faint light flashed, and this parchment finally carried a fascinating magical aura. On top of the unfolded parchment, the three-dimensional magic structure woven by the magic net hangs down silk strands and magical patterns on the parchment. Link together.
Xia Duo quickly rolled up the parchment. As the parchment deformed to a certain extent, the spell structure gradually shrank to the surface of the parchment, and finally became a radial magic net structure gathered around the scroll.
After a while, these radial magic net structures gradually converged, and after reaching a certain level, they became stable.
A copy of [Steam Ray] learning scroll!
There was a successful experience, and the follow-up was repeated.
In the end, Chateau made 2 learning scrolls and 3 ordinary scrolls that were encrypted and sold.
It's not that there is no material to do it, but the spellcasting opportunity of the wizard has been used up, and the only thing left is the bloodline spell, and the transformation of the bloodline spell hasn't started yet!
Counting it down, his success rate for making scrolls today is not all only 30%. If only considering the cost of materials, he barely returns.
But considering that this is the first production, the follow-up should be able to make money.
But for low-level scrolls, if you want to get rich overnight, don't think about it. The number of productions per day is extremely limited and can only be accumulated by time.
Or make more advanced or more widely used scrolls.
Otherwise, even a 9-ring Magic Scroll of [Change the Stars in the Sky] to Color, I guess it won’t sell for much price.
Personally speaking, spells are technology, and technology emphasizes practicality.
At present, [Steam Ray] is very practical, but it is not practical enough to be indispensable. It is estimated that there is much hope for the price increase.
"Oh-why is it so difficult to make money!" Xia Duo couldn't help but grumble at the five finished scrolls, but then, his stomach also grumbled at him-
Gu Gu Gu-
"Taling, command: current time." Chateau greeted Taling immediately.
"Level 2 permission, Master Xia Duo, current time: 9 am."
"..."
Xia Duo didn't lament that he had been all night for the first time, but regretted that he wasted a chance to cast spells during a rest period.
Thinking about it this way, I felt a little emotional because the scroll could not raise the price, and it was even more depressed.
Fortunately, the [Steam Scroll] has been produced, and Xia Duo's mood at the moment is still in the upper-middle level, and besides being hungry, he doesn't feel too tired.
It may be that the physique is stronger, and it is more resistant to fatigue.
Xia Duo tidied the workbench in the Mage Lab, put the remaining materials back into the storage room, and left with five finished product scrolls.
The cost of one night needs to be added to the cost of using the spell laboratory! This calculation may be a loss.
Open the door, and there is a lunch box outside against the wall. It should be placed here by the apprentice who delivered the meal in the morning. You can't hear the "door bell" in the spell laboratory unless it was arranged by Chateau.
Xia Duonao made up for the apprentice's entanglement in waiting or leaving, so he took the lunch box and went back and started eating directly.
While eating, he took out the "Dass Riel's Effective Protection" and looked through it. This book, Xia Duo, has been read about halfway.
At the beginning, he was still a little strenuous, but after watching more than half of it, he felt more and more relaxed. [Mage Armor] is not a high-threshold spell, but a fairly popular spell.
This is almost the only spell that a low-level mage can master to resist physical attacks.
In this way, when the lunch arrived and the "doorbell" rang, Xia Duo had already read the book, and was speculating and completing the elements not recorded in the book.
After taking the lunch and returning to the inside, Xia Duo suddenly felt that this kind of food delivery service was too inhumane, and the on-demand delivery was not bad for people with normal schedules.
Xia Duo's work and rest have always been normal before, but as a mage, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be times when Xia Duo's work and rest are disordered, such as Xia Duo today, would other mages endure it?
Or are there any other special services?
Personal butlers, personal chefs, etc., Xia Duo didn't want to temporarily, but the simple request of "you can eat whenever you are hungry" should always be met.
Thinking about this, Chateau immediately contacted Gardner. As two apprentices under the same mentor, he and Gardner had long exchanged secret marks.
At this time, the connection is not abrupt, but when he heard that Xia Duo specially sent him to ask how to eat, Gardner still couldn't help but be astonished.
"Xia Duo, I think you should communicate with people more and don't always ask common sense questions."
"Am I not communicating with you now?" Xia Duo laughed ~EbookFREE.me~ He didn't not communicate with people, but he spent the time spent chatting with others and drinking tea on studying magic and practicing spells.
Xia Duo, who came from an entertainment era, was very boring for the so-called entertainment and social activities in the Mage Tower, but magical things like magic fascinated him even more.
Of course, Chateau didn't completely avoid communicating with others, isn't it just to contact Gardner now, he just acts more purposefully.
"Garnar, are you preparing for the arcane competition?"
"I don’t know the specific rules and how to prepare. I just found some materials in the library. Forget it, don’t talk about this. Just ask Taring for your questions. Taring can provide instant food or find an apprentice. Bring you food, that's it."
After speaking, the contact was terminated.
"Haha." At the end of hearing, Xia Duo showed a satisfied smile, and it seemed unreasonable to ask Gardner, but it was actually very reasonable. The young man would inevitably be interested when asked by someone who surpassed him.
If it doesn't involve secrets, I'm happy to show off.
Xia Duo suddenly remembered an interesting incident in his high school. At that time, his grades were not bad, but one of his classmates liked to bully students who had better grades.
Xia Duo was also bullied, but once, he asked that classmate a very naive question, and something interesting happened—
Instead of laughing at Xia Duo, that classmate gradually became friends with Xia Duo.
From the current point of view, perfection produces distance, imperfection erases distance, but in essence, the gap between the two people and society's eyes has not been erased. So even though that classmate eventually became friends with Xia Duo, her opinions were often dominated by Xia Duo.
Today's Gardner may be such a friend.
